adjust target tones in coin &treasure mode

One tone means that you will get the same medium low (450 Hz) audio sound on any target you detect.
When you set the X-70 to 2 tones, you will get a low (130 Hz) tone on all (-) ferrous targets and a medium high tone (700 Hz) on all (+) non-ferrous targets.
When you set the X-70 up for 3 tones, you will still hear the low (130 Hz) tone on ferrous (-) targets. But the non-ferrous (conductive) targets will provide the medium low (450 Hz) tone on targets represented by notch segments +2 through +24. And it will provide a medium high tone (700 Hz) on targets represented by notch segments +26 through +48.
In the 4 tone mode, you will again get the low (130 Hz) tone on (-) ferrous targets. But your (+) non-ferrous targets are now represented with three separate tones. Targets in notch segments +2 through +24 will once again provide medium low tone (450 hz), targets represented by notch segments +26 through +40 will still provide a medium high tone (700 Hz), but the highest conductive (non-ferrous) targets with notch segments of +42 through +48 will provide the highest tone at 950 Hz.
The multiple tones are stated in the manual as being "99" tones. However, I believe that there is only one tone for each notch segment. That would be 28 tones for the 28 different notch segments. And, the audio sound produced by each target notch segment is represented by a dedicated tone ranging from the lowest pitch at 130 Hz, to the highest pitch at 950 Hz. The lower the pitch, the more ferrous the target is. The higher the pitch, the higher the conductivity (non-ferrous) level.
All of this infomation can be found on page 38 of your X-70 manual. If you don't have a copy of the manual, you can access one from the FAQFAQ section at the top of these posts. http://www.findmall.com/read.php?55,496344,496344#msg-496344
Regardless of which tone setting you use, the LCD provides TID. The benefit of using audio sounds is to help distinguish targets without continually looking at the meter. For example, in the US, all of our coins are non-ferrous, wiht varying degrees of conductivity. As such, I can coin-hunt in all metal and not dig the low tones represented by ferrous targets. Since the various US coin denominations produce different tones, I can also get a pretty good idea as to what my target is going to be, just by the sound. But always remember what I say at the end of each post I make...... You'll never know for sure......unless you dig it! HH Randy
